All you need to do is go in with a Bill of Sale. Im sure you can do a search and find out what needs to be on it and it can just be hand written. The good ol' knowledgeable folks at the DMV sure are a helpful bunch.......of lazy slackers that don't know how to do anything that is more involved than tying their own shoes which are more than likely velcro.

I plan on fireing up the WR 250 and leaving the Mitchell area around 10 or 11 if anyone wants to ride, thinking of heading south, going to try to get to the Ohio River on the backroads. All is welcome.

I went to the bmv with a nicely written bill of sale from the seller, although the clerk wanted to run it off the bill of sale the manager said no, had to be court ordered. Thanks AC909 for the link to Indiana's bill of sale form, I'll be sure to require that next purchase, and use it when I sell something.

If the previous owner had a title or if I had lost a title, bmv would help me with lost title application. It is likely this bike was never titled, it came from a farm where it was in the family for a long time.

I think johnson357 is right, getting title is just harder than it was in past. I had hoped that the age of the bike and the fact it probably was never titled would help.

Makes me want to cheat and move plate from one bike to another, cause I'm only going to ride one at a time. Of course if I'm stopped, no officer is gonna believe the old yellow trail 90 is a red 05 klr.

Now I gotta decide try to rush it through to avoid late fees or just wait and see if I can get it running before dealing with the title and plates.

I've heard that's a more serious offense than just running without a plate. Anyone know this for sure?

screw the po lice......
does the trail 90 have a vin or serial number. download the vin verification form... make a bill of sale. have an officer come out or take it to a station and have a vin check. go to the bmv and hand them the papers. dont tell then what you did. if they start getting critital go to a different bmv.

If you are dealing with a DMV that is helpful they will tell you all of this. I went in with my bill of sale they handed me the VIN verification form and I took it and the bike to an officer. He verified that the VIN on the form and bill of sale was the same VIN on the bike and he signed the paper I took the bill of sale and now police signed VIN verification form to the DMV and said I wanted a plate and title. Wam bam thank you maam. Like it was said before go to another DMV. Small towns are always the best.

Also remember you caN go to any bmv in indiana but the vin check has to be done in the county you reside in
